Generals Sarrut’s and Ferey’s divisions were sent north to help Foy’s pin the Allied rearguard on their ridge. Bonnet’s division was the anchor on the Grande and General Maucune’s pushed westward along the southern ridge to turn the Allies’ flank. It then faced north opposite Los Arapiles only to discover they were opposite Lieutenant General James Leith’s division, while those of Generals Thomières, Antoine François (Count) Brennier and Bertrand (Count) Clausel moved westward, south of the Arapil Grande to extend the left hook and threaten the Ciudad Rodrigo road.
